Is it worth it?

What it is: A handsome stone and slate house in the centre of Golspie that needs refurbishment and modernisation. Built by the Sutherland estate in 1862, the house has views of the sea from the rear. The accommodation is arranged on two floors and comprises two reception rooms and a kitchen downstairs, and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The upstairs rooms have coombed ceilings and relativly small windows. Heat currently comes from a wood-burning stove and an open fire.

The garden, which is bounded by stone walls, is large and contains a couple of fuel stores. It has direct access to the promenade and the beach. There is also a wooden garage.

The problems: For Sutherland, the asking price is quite high for a house requiring work. A village property does not have the catchet of one in a more remote location
